They said the same thing when Trump started getting hit with felony indictments. > **[GOPers think getting arrested makes Trump popular to Black folks](https://www.msnbc.com/the-reidout/reidout-blog/trump-arrest-georgia-black-voters-rcna102187)** > > Trying to spin Trump's Georgia indictment as a positive, conservatives claim his arrest makes him more appealing to Black folks. It's a bigoted, desperate claim. ---

I can’t help but read that as, ~~if~~ when Trump nukes New York he can’t guarantee the safety of South Carolina. Nuking New York being the bestest way to appeal his conviction, of course. ---

When I mentioned the article about ‘camps’ before… well I think you all know Rump is a waste-not-want-not kind of guy. In other words, after the so-called ‘border problem’ is settled take three guesses just who he’s going to fill those camps with next. I can’t speak for the rest of you but personally I look terrible in stripes. ---

Yes, it is. One part of the article is quite in error: > “Trump is following the 20th century dictator’s playbook of dehumanizing vulnerable groups in order to isolate them and justify cruelty by the state,” Genevieve Nadeau, a former DHS lawyer, said in a report by the nonpartisan organization Protect Democracy. “He’s backing up his rhetoric by threatening to invoke extreme and novel legal tools to effectuate an agenda of inhumanity on a scale we haven’t seen for generations. We should expect him to follow through on his pledges.” This is not novel. It’s full-on Hitler. Oh, you think that’s hyperbole? Take a gander at this in the next paragraph: > The Trump campaign has also said he would sign an executive order on his first day in office to withhold passports, Social Security numbers and other government benefits from children of undocumented immigrants born in the United States. The idea of challenging the 14th Amendment’s guarantee of birthright citizenship would be sure to draw a court challenge. The proposal has been raised by Trump and Miller before, but the specific promise of an executive order indicated the campaign has put further effort into fleshing it out. That’s more Hitler bullshit. He wants to strip natural born American citizens of their citizenship based on his prejudice against their parentage. And, yes, as the article’s headline shows, concentration camps are an essential part of tis plan. As I said, he’s Hitler. ---

> [@Akaj](#): > > More like he just made shit up. Yeah I’m calling it as bullshit fear mongering. The Tsar bomb which was the largest man made explosion ever made, but recognized as horribly unwieldy as an actual military weapon had a destructive radius of about 150 miles or about half the distance between New York and the North Carolina border. Given that blasts are spherical to get twice the blast radius you need 8 times the yield so this would be 8 Tsar Bonbs. Even assuming that the US could create such a thing, there is no reason that they would do so since the only purpose would be MAD, and we already got that covered thank you very much. Further more even it we did decide to make it so as to cow our enemies into submission, as we learned from Dr. Strangelove it makes no sense to have a doomsday weapon and keep it a secret. Finally even we did decide to build it and for some reason decided to keep it a secret, in order for Trump to reveal it he would have had to pay attention at the security briefing where he was told about it. And that is just a step too far beyond plausibility. ---

You’re probably right… but that’s just it: occasionally one of his remaining brain cells actually fires… so it’s hard to tell what is a flash of memory or just a riff of BS.
